Heart of Lions Miss Golden Chance to Top League After Goalless Draw with Basake Holy Stars
Heart of Lions missed a valuable opportunity to go top of the Ghana Premier League table after playing out a goalless draw against Basake Holy Stars on Sunday at the AAK Ampain Arena.
The encounter was tightly contested, with both sides creating decent chances. However, it was the home side that came closest to breaking the deadlock.
Basake Holy Stars were awarded a penalty in the 67th minute, but their star forward Prince Tweneboah failed to convert, spurning a golden opportunity to secure all three points.
The draw leaves Heart of Lions tied on 54 points with Asante Kotoko and Nations FC, two points behind league leaders Bibiani Gold Stars with just three matches remaining in the season. The result will be seen as a missed opportunity for the Lions, especially given their impressive defensive record, which remains one of the best in the league.
Basake Holy Stars, meanwhile, climbed to 12th place on 37 points, edging just two points above the relegation zone. The team will be desperate to secure safety in the final stretch of the campaign.
Looking ahead, Basake travel to face Bechem United, while Heart of Lions will aim to return to winning ways when they host Young Apostles.
With the title race tightening and every point proving crucial, all eyes will be on how the final fixtures unfold.
